yzzidGoing to be a freshman next year at Western Washington U, anyone else?
gnarRatI'm in Delta there right now! its pretty lit
Mr.PandaIt's expensive to live here though. I pay like $400 a month in JUST RENT and am a good couple miles from the college and that's considered cheap. I know some people paying almost $1000 a month for a condo that is only 300 sq ft.
Mr.PandaBaker is good... bars downtown can be fun. Buffalo and Green Frog routinely have live acts.

mystery3I'm curious where else you've lived? $400 for rent seems like nothing to me. I know people who would do all kinds of interesting things for a 300 sq' condo for a grand a month. I live in the south bay area/silicon valley and I'm aware it is one of the most expensive places to live on the planet yet still $400 sounds low. The lowest rent I've ever paid in this area was $500 for a room in a house and that was nearly 20 years ago.
Mr.PandaI should probably also describe the house. It's probably almost 50 years old, built on top of an area that was at one point a swamp so the crawl space is always getting water in it so there's a damn sump pump in it. The windows haven't been replaced in probably 30 years so they're single pane, don't fit their frames properly so there's constant cold air streaming in during the winters which means the heat bill shoots through the roof.
I'm pretty sure there is mold on our bathroom ceiling as it wasn't until 3 months ago our landlord put a blood fan in the bathroom.
I can keep going but won't cause now I just sound bitchy.
Oh yeah, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath and the room I am in is probably at best 14 feet by 12 feet.... INCLUDING the closet.

RousedWitsHaha, I live in an old ass house just like this over in Pullman.
We have 3 massive single pane windows too, it really saves on the bills if you buy bubble wrap and stick it over the window... Literally has cut $30 bucks off our electricity compared to last year last year, without.
